Upload your image

Step 2

Choose your target size

Select a platform preset (YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn) or a general preset, such as tall portrait, square, or wide landscape. The AI analyzes your image and generates content to fill the expanded canvas.

Image extender with AI outpainting

More than a basic photo extender. VEED uses AI outpainting to generate what's beyond your frame. The AI analyzes your scene and creates matching backgrounds and details. Uncrop photos that were framed too tightly. Expand product images to add promotional text. Zoom out on portraits to show more environment. No manual editing or cloning needed.

AI photo extender for any aspect ratio

Resize images for any platform without losing your subject to cropping. Select platform presets for YouTube thumbnails (16:9), TikTok and Reels (9:16), Instagram posts (1:1), or LinkedIn (9:16). Or use general presets like tall portrait for vertical content, square for balanced framing, and wide landscape for cinematic shots. The AI expands your background to fit while keeping your subject intact.
